Alex stood there a bit shocked, and after a moment she pulled from the kiss yet she didn't back away. She in turn wrapped her arms around him, and pulled him tighter to her as she rested her head against his shoulder. She closed her eyes as she held him close. The warmth from his body reminding her of what it was like to be held by him so many years ago. "Things change . . . people change . . . I have changed," she spoke lightly as she stayed there content in staying in his arms. "Many things have happened since then, things I wish I couldn't remember, and pains I wish would just leave me. Yet . . . yet I know I can't run from them . . . or even fear them . . . still I'm scared . . ." she paused as she rested against him.
So this is the fate you chose. You know the path only leads to death and more blood. You will lose him like you lost the others. Your hands will be stained with blood once more.
I will die before I take his life.
"Can I . . . can I please stay with you," she asked lightly.

"Alex... I... I love you..." He felt her wrap her arms around him. His head hurt, but he couldn't pull away. He rubbed her back gently, and lovingly. He pulled back slightly kissing her forehead. He pushed some hair from her face, and looked into her eyes. Blinking slightly, he rubbed the side of her cheek and smiled gently. He moved his arm up and down her shoulder and sighed gently. "Yes... Please be with me..."

Alex smiled as she held him tightly. She closed her eyes opening them again. Stepping back from him slightly as she brought her hand up to the side of his face. She ran her hand down his cheek gently. Besides the aging he looked the same as he did over five years ago. She then frowned slightly as she looked down at the ground and stepped completely away from him. "C- can you promise me one thing," she asked a bit weakly. She was starting to feel tired all of a sudden. But the realization of using her powers made her realize that she had probably drained herself. She looked up at him tiredly before shaking her head. "P- please . . . . if- if I lose it . . . t- to the point I m- might k- kill you," she asked as she faltered in her stance. She looked at him with heavy eyes. "Please . . . ki- kill me . . . please ki- kill me if . . . if it's to the p- point I might kill . . . i might kill y. . ." her words dropped off as she collapsed to the ground. Her body seeming as if she had just slipped into a deep slumber. Her body trying to catch back up after everything that had happened.

Devin pushed forward, grabbing her as she fell, holding her gently, he picked her up, and placed her on the makeshift bed. Quickly, he took a rag from his bag and went to the bathroom in the store, wetting the rag, and coming back as quick as he could. Placing the rag on her forehead, he gently moved his hand down her cheek. She was so warm, but yet she didn't respond much. She was pretty much out of it, and he still didn't understand how she was able to jump like she did. Placing an arm in his bad, he moved to pick up a can of Ravioli's and quickly pierced it with a knife that hung around his waist. Cutting it open from the top, he grabbed a bowl, that was hidden underneath a counter in the front of the store, and placed the food in it.
He placed the bowl on the ground, and saw accordingly. Devin poured the cold food into the bowl, and pulled a utensil that was in his bag. Lucky enough he was able to grab a bag of plastic kitchenware. He stuck the fork into one of the Ravioli's and quickly sunk his teeth into it. It being cold wasn't at any effect here, it still tasted delicious. Finishing the blow, he quickly cut open another can of ravioli's and placed it on a counter, that was slightly higher than the bed. Turning, he walked to the bathroom to wipe some blood off of himself.

Alex shifted on the bed as she let out a soft moan. Her head tossed slightly from the nightmares that plaged her dreams. They were the reasons she couldn't get any sleep anymore, and the reasons why using her abilities were wearing on her. Yet now she couldn't find the power to wake up. No matter how hard she tried to get away from these hellish dreams she couldn't wake up. There was a scream that caused her eyes to break open, and she laid there panting heavily. After a bit she forced herself to sit up, and looked around. It was then she realized the scream she heard was her own. Alex sighed heavily as she held her hand up to her head as she closed her eyes.
These nightmares were going to be the end of her one day. An as much as she would welcome death. She had found another reason to stay alive. Turning around to set her feet on the floor she seen the bowl. Smiling a bit as she took it in hand, and quickly finished it off. It tasted much better then mothn old candie bars. She sat the bowl back on the counter and stood up stretching her arms. Walking slowly to the gate so she wouldn't attracked any unwanted attention. Once she was sure it was clear she lifted it up, and stepped out into the hall. Walking up to the railing that over looked the first floor she leaned up against it, and relaxed as much as she could.

His head still hurt from all the memories of Alex, but he didn't care at this point. He couldn't understand how it worked, but he knew he enjoyed Alex's company before, and she still hurt him. Sighing, he walked back to where her bed was, her not being there his eyes widened. Grabbing his pistol, and quickly reading it he went outside, but was able to see she was fine he sighed a sigh of relief and holstered his gun.
Leaning on the railing beside her, he gently sighed. "I didn't walk away because you're a monster." Sighing, he held his head over the railing and moved his hand through his hair. "It hurt, when you told me you married someone. It still does. You left me there, Alex. I remember now. I was dying, and you left me there. I didn't know why I cam back here, 'till today. It was to find you, I was doing it without even knowing so." He turned his head to look at her, and his eyes were red, red from crying. Tears were streaming down his face, as he turned his head to rest on his hands which were on the railing as well.

Alex closed her eyes as she leaned forward a bit on the railing. Gripping it tightly before letting go. She pushed off before turning around to look away from him. "All I can say is I thought you were dead," she said lightly. She looked down at the ground and shook her head. "What was I suppose to do? Go on morning for the rest of my life, go on and forsake those who loved me and cared for me. The one person who fought tooth and nail for me." She shook her head again before wiping her own tears away. "I couldn't wallow away in guilt and sadness. During those days I had lose more people who cared about me than I could count. I even lost you. An each day I looked at Jimmy I felt a pain in my heart. A pain that I knew belonged to you . . . a pain that I regretted who I had married, but at the same time I still cared for him." She shook her head again before turning back to him. "Hate me . . . I don't care if you do. After so long in believing that you were dead I was overjoyed to find that you are alive. An if anything I will see that you are safe in the end. Even if it cost me my life. I messed up yours, and I want to set amends as best as i can. Even if it consist of you hating me for the rest of our lives."

Devin pushed off the railing, whipping his head around quickly he looked back at the store and sighed. Closing his eyes he moved towards the stairs. "Ever since I woke up in that hospital, I hated myself. Even when I didn't know who I was... I hated myself. I didn't know why, but I did. I know why now, I was weak. I let myself almost be killed, lost you, and I shall never get that same Alex back. I can tell you're changed Alex. Maybe not physically, but you have changed." Turning swiftly, he went into the store and went to his bag, he placed it to the side and sat beside it. Sighing to himself again, he hit his head on the wall and took in another deep breath.
"You never know who you truly are, or what you are until the day comes, 'till you die." Looking at the ceiling he turned to look at the opening of the store, being able to look at Alex from here. He didn't know what to believe anymore.

Alex shook her head as she looked back out over the first floor. The mall had seemed to settle down once more. She raised her hand up to the moon light that showed threw the upper windows. Watching the rays filter threw her fingers as she stood there. Shaking her head as she pulled her hand into a fist, before lowering it and her head. How could a monster look so human, and carry human emotions. Why was she a curse upon those she had met, and why wasn't it her who suffered the most when it was her friends and loved ones. Sighing heavily, Alex finally turned around to look at Devin as he set up against the wall. "Time and time again I wish . . . and I prayed that it was me . . . that those I knew who suffered greatly . . . that it was me in their place. They shouldn't have suffered because of me, and they shouldn't have to endure that of a lost one because of me. Yet no matter how much I prayed it would never happen." Looking away she sighed a bit. "Devin I don't know what to tell you or what to say. I don't know how to make it easer, or even if there is a way for me to do so. You have hurt greatly because of me, and I am so sorry," she spoke lightly as she looked at him.

Devin looked up at her and sighed. His body was hurt, his heart was hurt, his emotions were running wild. Scooting his knees in closer, and covering his ears he closed his eyes and sighed to himself. He didn't want to hear anything, or see anyone. Remembering the times he spent with Alex. Laying beside her when she was hurt, and holding her close. Bringing tears to his eyes, he slowly rose up. He opened his eyes, moved his hand to his gun and quickly pointed it at himself. "I can't live this life anymore. I am sorry..." Looking at Alex, then back at the gun he gulped, twitching his finger he was able to bring himself to pull the trigger, but not at himself, just shooting himself in the arm. It was in succession, sadly the automatic pistol sent three bullets into his arm, one was caught by the mesh underneath the shirt but two broke through, and it sent Devin to the ground, wincing in pain. "Ungh... Can't even kill myself..." He winced in pain.

Alex sighed as she walked up to him. She knelt down beside him, and after a minute of fighting she forcefully took his arm. "Why would you want to sacrifice yourself? Your heart hurts, your head hurts, your body hurts . . ." she spoke as she started tending to his arm. Painfully removing the bullets from it before cleaning it as best as she could. "Why throw your life away when it receives nothing in return. At least in living you could have some satisfaction if you decided to kill the one person who caused you so much pain," she said as she finished wrapping his arms. She turned at looked at him "Devin . . . if you want to kill anyone let it be me. I am the one who caused you so much pain, and I am the one who hurt you and left you. If anyone should die it should be me," she said as she sighed a bit. Alex climbed to her feet and looked down at him, before out in the hall to see if the gunfire attracted any unwanted attention. "An I really haven't changed," she said as she looked back to him with a grin. "What you see before you is what I would rather call the calmer persona of my darker half," she sighed as she turned away. "The girl you knew back then is still here crying deep and heavily. She hasn't stopped crying since she first saw you. What she sees and feels so do I and vise versa. Long ago we learned to work together. Then Umbrella took over. When Umbrella finished she was stricken ill, and when she has attacks I take over most of the time. Mostly for the fact she can't handle them."
Sighing heavily as she shook her head. "Alex was hurt . . . she was hurt badly under Umbrella's control. The one you know, and not me. I was locked away into the hellish nightmare of her mind. Forced to watch as she herself slaughtered her family, and slaughtered many innocents. She nearly took out an entire hospital before she was retaken by Umbrella. Our power uncontrollable it can be. Even I don't know the full extent, and if we go to far I lose myself. In the end. All I can do and all she can do is cry, and beg for something that will never happen." She turned back to him with a glare. "Right now this girls heart is shattered, and her spirit is breaking. I speak what she thinks, and I do what she wants. But know this there is a darker part of me that has been calling out since your return. A voice we haven't hard since we put you to rest in our minds so many years back. An now that it's back I fear the worse. She wants to stay with you, and stay by your side no matter how much you hate her or how much she hurts. For her will I will do that," she explained.

Alex began to talk to him again, and it didn't seem like her. the innocence in her voice wasn't there, and she came on stronger than usual. He didn't quite like this side of Alex, and it was odd that there was a different side of her. the way she talked is as if she was completely different than the Alex he originally fell in love with. Perhaps she was, and didn't have the same feelings for him as the Alex he knew. Maybe even all these feelings are being controlled by Umbrella right now, and he was going to die just like her... Ex-husband. Devin formed at Alex, then looked down again. He had shot himself, it wasn't the first time he had shot himself in the arm, or leg. He had tried to kill himself before, and wasn't able to exactly shoot himself.
"So, you are... Biploar? Two sides of you, maybe more? I don't know anymore, Alex. This is getting weirder and weirder. I don't know anymore... I just want out of this life, out of here. I want to be with you, but I don't know what you feel anymore. I don't even know if you're real anymore, if maybe you'll forget about me, or stop loving me. I just..." Sighing, he stopped himself, and looked away from her. He still held his arm in pain, as Alex had removed the bullets. "I don't know if you'll switch to a side of you that doesn't love me... It's like two different people, it doesn't even sound like you anymore. I don't know if you really do love me anymore. This could all be a ploy by Umbrella..." Sighing once more he quickly moved away from his original spot, standing he moved to the bathroom once more. He kept the door open as he entered and began to fully clean his wounds. Pulling some bandage tape from his backpack which he kept in the bathroom he wrapped it up fully and sat on the toilet that was positioned beside the sink. Placing his arms on his knees and laying them limp, it hurt to move his arm, but he just held it in. Laying his head down, he began to think.

Alex sighed as she looked out toward the main area of the mall. She smiled lightly as she looked back toward the bathroom. Closing her eyes as she stood there thinking. After a moment she opened her eyes and looked down at the ground. "I told you that you should have remained in control," she growled under her breath.
You should be more gentle toward him. A lot has happened, and I'm worried that he doesn't completely have his memory back. If he did he would remember that I always had a darker side.
"Gee thanks."
Well you have tried to kill everyone.
"Yeah yeah. Why don't you take back over? Maybe if he talks to you he'll be happier. I don't think he cares to much for me."
There was a small giggle inside of her head, and Alex shook her head and sighed again. "Just take control and stop playing." Closing her eyes and after a bit of concentrating she opened them again. The cold dark stare that was there before was gone. An once more her soft gentle gray eyes had taken back over. She smiled a bit as she looked toward the bathroom where Devin had gone and shook her head.
Just behave yourself, and keep on your toes.
"I will," she spoke softly. She started walking toward the bathroom before stopping. Her ears picking up on a sound. Tilting her head slightly. Her eyes grew wide as the licker seemed to jump out of no where. Alex let out a scream before she took off toward the bathroom that Devin was in.
Alex calm down. I need you to concentrate so I can take back over . . . Alex! The other voice screamed as she tried her best to calm down her panicking counter part.
Still Alex didn't listen, and in the end the tongue from the licker wrapped around her neck practically pulling her off her feet as she hit the ground hard. She struggled and cried as she tried to break the tongue free of her neck. Feeling the air being cut off she chocked as she tried desperately to break free, but in the end only passing out from the lack of air.

Devin's ears perked as he quickly rose his head to hear a panicked scream. Seeing Alex infront of the door he sighed, his eyes narrowed, and then soon widened to see what was around her neck. Quickly, Faden move forward. Pulling the combat knife from his belt it flipped in the air quickly. Catching it, he rushed forward cutting the tongue from the licker straight off. Peering directly at the licker, he was met by the ugly face as it seemed to not know exactly where he was. Rushing forward, Devin pushed the cabinet beside him over, throwing the combat knife to the ground he wanted to fight this thing alone. "Cut me, scratch me. I don't care!" Looking back at Alex as she was now on the ground, adrenaline rushed to his arms and legs. His teeth gritted he was now nearing the Licker, as the cabinet pulled it off track.
Devin rose up, quickly grabbing the Licker by the neck. It was still furious from the tongue being cut off, it screeched slashing around it's tongue which was now shorter than usual. Devin was able to get up on it's back, and quickly wrapped his legs around him. Pulling his arms around, he flipped the Licker over. It was something that was near impossible but he did so. He used this as a way to punch the licker in the face. His fist met with the brain of the Licker a few times. The Licker was even powerful enough to lift his head up and slam Devin on the ground. This only angered Devin more, as he quickly sent three more punches to the head of the Licker. the Licker lifted it's head one more time. Devin knew what was gonna happen, so he brought all the enrgy he could to one last punch. This Punch was with all his energy, it shattered into the head of the Licker crushing it's skull and killed it almost instantly.
Devin didn't give up on this point. He didn't care. these creatures made his life this hell. They took everything from him. He was going to demolish this creature. Devin rose up, and quickly began to kick the creature, screaming out. "YOU DID THIS TO ME!" Punching down on the body of the licker, he allowed his anger to take over, as he continuously pounded on the body of the nasty creature.

Alex . . . Alex wake up, the voice echoed threw her head. Alex get up! it practically ordered.
Alex opened her eyes gasping heavily as she did. She could hear Devin screaming, and all it did was bring tears to her eyes. She rolled over slightly and propped herself up on her elbow looking at him kicking away at the dead creature. Alex staggered to her feet as she looked at him. Her body trembling as she stood there, and after a bit she started walking on shaky legs. She staggered over to him, and stood beside him as she watched him. An after a moment she wrapped her arms around him, and started crying heavily. "I'm sorry . . . I'm sorry I did this to you. I never wanted to leave you . . . I never stopped loving you," she cried as she held him tightly from behind. Her hands gripping his shirt tightly. "I never wanted to hurt you . . . I'm sorry I hurt you . . . but . . . but I never stopped loving you," she cried heavily as she held him from behind.
